Is there a delay time when switching between inputs? If so, how long?

I am no longer using this as my cable company has supplied me with a four port moden/router, but as I recall there was a small delay.

Not really a delay between them. you hit the button on either the remote or the switcher itself and it instantly changes input. it will show up on the screen a second or two later, but thats it.

Yes, there is a brief delay but that's not unusual though. The time it takes for electronic devices make the so-called "electronic handshake" is normal for just about all switching devices.The length of the delay depends on the individual devices, some take longer than others, but in general I'd say between five and eight seconds. For the low price, this switch has been just great for me.

Instant, or close enough that it doesn't matter. Never noticed any sort of input delay.

I have not noticed a delay. The only problem I've had is when I try to use the dual output at the same time. One for audio to an older amplifier and one to the tv. The unit has no output when both are connected, but works fine when only one is connected.

I have not noticed a delay. The controllers that come with this system are not very good, I bought original Nintendo controller to go with this system. It seems to work fine.

There is minimal delay between turning on unit and sound output - seconds at most. I've had no trouble with this unit since it's purchase in August.

There is a slight, about 1/4 sec., delay, but, yes it is a momentary switch. I have no trouble managing the delay. I am using it with a winch motor.

After sitting a while, there is a very short delay -- it felt like 1/8 of a second. When I turned the switch on, off, and on again, there was no delay.

I have experienced no delay. I use it to connect a Raspberry Pi's HDMI connector to a re-purposed vga display. Other factors can cause lag, typically the use of a USB hub.

Yes. There is a 5 minute delay. There maybe a switch to increase this, but I have not looked at the unit in a while.

I don't have the unit with me, so can't test to find out for you - I've not tried two inputs at same time. Both come with the unit.

I have never used that button - this device seems only to support one connected input at a time. So if I want to use another input source, I have to disconnect the current input first, then connect whatever other device - USB, 3.5mm, etc. this is a major drawback that I have learned to live with.

A delay is normal for USB swithes. The length of the delay seems to depend on the specific hosts and devices. This is because the new host has to redetect the devices every time. The same as if you had unplugged them. Some more expensive swtiches can emulate keyboards and mice so that the host never disconnects them.Examples: My work KVM (different manufacture) takes about 5 sec to toggle. But sometimes it doesn't work and I have to toggle several times.On my home KM (this device): My Mac sees the KM within a few seconds, but my Win 7 box takes around 30 sec.

Yes, there is a slight delay (at least with my TV). As with most TV's, switch or not, there is a delay between switching to the input, and the input displaying on the TV.

No. The button toggle between input or output mode. Can not be both at the same time.

I suppose its based on your controller. In my case, you can set conditions and events. So if a condition is met, the switch can be triggered and then immediately be un-triggered making it "momentary". It is not as fast as a button press, but it is pretty quick (5 seconds or less).

That is definitely not my experience, and probably has more to do with your systems. My switch activates my USB devices in 1-2 seconds. But I'm not using a MAC--both of mine are PCs. I'm switching a keyboard and mouse.

I don't notice a delay between flipping the switch and seeing light. I just checked.
